Thank you for your interest in the History Department at East Tennessee State University.
The following information is aimed at assisting those students interested in pursuing
History as a major area of study.

Teacher Education–Students interested in pursuing a teacher education program for certification as a history teacher in
grades 7-12 are asked to see the subject area advisor in the Department of History
AND the professional advisor in the Office of Student Services, 321 Warf-Pickel, College
of Education.

Pre-Teacher Education–Declaration of Intent–All ETSU students desiring to complete a teacher education or other public
school licensure program (for initial licensure, add-on endorsement, or advanced study
in education) must file a Declaration of Intent in the Office of Student Services,
321 Warf-Pickel Hall. The Declaration of Intent should be filed before 30 credit hours
of coursework have been completed or, in the case of transfer and post-baccalaureate
students, in the first semester at ETSU. Delay or failure to file the Declaration
of Intent may result in incomplete advisement. Students who have not filed the Declaration
of Intent will not be considered for admission to teacher education and may be ineligible
to enroll in many professional education courses.
